Rick, I'm not ripping you, just stating the facts.  I should have
included those situations where management prevents the use of JSP, but
I've run into so few of those anymore that I forgot they exist.

To me, your biggest problem is not which tool to use, but the ability to
have a development environment.  I went back and read your post, and
while I agree that developers don't need access to production data,
there still needs to be a sandbox area for development.

That way, if you had access to the IFS, you could install Tomcat on your
own, knock together a quick demo using JSPs, and show management why it
would be to their advantage to go down that route.

Anyway, if you're stuck with RPG and RPG-CGI, then Colin and I are
probably the wrong people to ask.  Oh... have you tried Net.data?  It's
fast and free and people swear by it.
